GutTracker for the VA and DoD.
Objective GI measurement, at home, for those who served.
G-Tech Medical partners with Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions (VHSS), a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, to make GutTracker available to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense through federal purchasing channels. GutTracker is Buy American Act (BAA) compliant and available to federal purchasers now through DLA ECAT (Federal eCAT).
Different strengths, one commitment.
Functional gastrointestinal disorders are common, and the diagnostic uncertainty around them is the problem GutTracker was built to reduce. This partnership pairs that measurement with a federal channel built, owned, and staffed by veterans.
G-Tech Medical
A noninvasive, wireless patch system that measures myoelectric activity from the stomach, small intestine and colon over multiple days, at home, as an aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of gastrointestinal disorders.
Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions
A Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business and medical distributor serving federal healthcare since 2010, holding contract positions across VA FSS, DLA ECAT and DAPA, and operating a veteran-first workplace. vhss1.com.
A test that travels to the veteran, not the other way around.
GutTracker records for up to six days in the patient's own home, then returns a report to the ordering clinician. For a veteran population that is often rural or far from a VA medical center, a test that needs no procedure room and no repeat visits removes real barriers to getting an answer.
At home, not in clinic
The recording happens during ordinary life. No procedure room, no scheduled staff time, and no travel for the recording itself.
Days, not hours
Six days of signal makes day-to-day variation visible, which a single in-clinic window can miss.1
Alongside existing care
GutTracker measures a different quantity than scintigraphy or the motility capsule. It adds to the VA workup rather than replacing established tests.2
One partner, one clear path.
Confirm candidacy
A VA or DoD clinician confirms GutTracker fits the clinical question. It is a prescription device, ordered the way any prescriber would order one.
Order through VHSS
GutTracker is loaded on DLA ECAT and can be ordered now. VHSS also holds VA FSS and DAPA positions, so registration, EDI ordering and compliance run through a single veteran-owned partner.
Kits ship, the report returns
The system ships to the site or the patient, the patient records at home for up to six days, and the report returns to the ordering clinician.
The channel does more than ship boxes.
Set-aside and sole-source pathways
SDVOSB status opens purchasing pathways that are not available when buying from a manufacturer directly.
Credit toward veteran-contracting goals
Buying through an SDVOSB partner counts toward federal veteran-owned contracting goals.
One partner for the paperwork
Vendor registration, EDI orders and contract compliance are handled under one roof, which reduces friction for the federal buyer.
Mission alignment
A veteran-owned, veteran-staffed partner serving veterans and active-duty personnel, not only a commercial transaction.
